Hey there lovely!

It's nearly 1 AM here and I'm wide awake, new smoking session strain and an unfathomable amount of coffee and here I sit pondering a new name for a character that is, ultimately an amalgamation of bitterness and pain. I'll be delving into the how's and why's of the maternal line wound of sorts and making it take form. I'm still working out particulars in my mind's eye with "It" or "Herself" as I've taken to calling it. I know that this particular muse is definitely female. Cold. Closed. Broken. Myself if I had taken a few too many wrong turns and not found my footing.

For a moment I thought Mary but I've got a very positive affiliation with that one honestly. My own given name is marred by du Maurier's work ( even though I still love the novel for itself but I digress. ) I was actually toying with the idea of Daphne or Elizabeth or some sort of variation of either but we shall see. I welcome all and any ideas and suggestions.

Edit:
Additional information because it's just hit me:

I feel I should add that this particular muse will be a mother to Col in this stand alone verse. Not sure which way it's going but it's definitely going somewhere. I'm thinking of combing it with the Midnight Mailman verse and the Candy x Boyd pairing. Dare I say maybe something White Trash fancy? I'll be searching my family trees on both sides ;-) I fancy myself a sort of ' Hill William' if you will ;-D
